Thanks to every one for the advice. I feel comfortable with this advice. Once again thanks to all. Hope to get more info and help as I go along. I know only what I have been reading on the net. Debbie Cynthia I totally agree, I wean when I repeatedly see the babies go to the feed bowls and water bottle. They tell you when they are ready to be weaned and time out of pouch can be so subjective.
: (oh and I also agree with Maria.)

: : Yes I believe that it is too soon. Most gliders are taken from their parents and weaned at 6 to 8 weeks oop, not four. Have you seen her eat anything at all? I believe in letting my gliders wean themselves, I will not rush them, however I did have one set of twins that began to eat with Mom and Dad when they were only three weeks oop. A rare occurance I am sure. I would insist that she stay with her parents till I see her actually eating something solid.
